[Cotillo_Tom]

Well today February7th we have had 2 Christmas cards delivered, both air mail, one from the UK posted November 24th and a Moon Pig one posted in Guernsey but no date on it.

They posted early for Christmas 2022 John!!

Here's another article about Correos:

I get the impression that without a NIE number, packages either remain in limbo or are returned to the sender.

I sort of get this that rules and system's change this is Spain Afterall, and adding your TIA number which I almost always have done, speeds things up ,but why not adding it  should delay Christmas cards defeats me it is fairly obvious what they are surely?

But John, you are thinking this logically, not in the Spanish style!?

Sorry Tom I have been here to long, but I still sometimes lapse into logical thinking.

Well in my case a phone was sent from N.Ireland on the 4th Jan, 3 days to arrive in Langley and 4 days in customs there since N,Ireland is still in the EU customs area, then 3 days in Madrid logicstics before being sent to Madrid airport and has sat in their customs since the 28th Jan and still waiting to clear, that's 2 weeks and counting

Read from bottom up, using data from parcelsapp.com which is far more detailed, nothing has changed in the last weeks

Received a small package today posted Airmail 21/01/2022, address happened to have my TIA number on it, so whether that had any bearing on the delivery I do not know but 24 days is not bad?

[Zapparocks]

Did the airmail  cost much more, my package cost 13 quid which I thought would be airmail and did fly to Spain ok
